    The Swiss Football League (SFL) has stripped Neuchatel Xamax of their license and expelled them from the Super League after they were suspected of falsifying a bank document produced as a financial guarantee last year.

    Less than a year after being taken over by Russian businessman Bulat Chagaev, the club have already been deducted eight points for irregularities in the payment of social security contributions and players' wages. Now, Swiss media have reported that an important document was full of basic grammatical and spelling mistakes, prompting the move.

    "The Swiss Football League has taken away Neuchatel Xamax's licence for participating in championships organised by the SFL," a statement said. "The disciplinary commission has reached the conclusion that the conditions for the license are no longer met due to the non-presentation of financial guarantees.

    "The disciplinary commission is also convinced that the banking guarantee from the Bank of America was not provided by the latter."

    The Swiss Super League has already seen FC Sion deducted 36 points for fielding players who were signed during a FIFA transfer ban, while Chagaev has sacked four coaches during his time at Neuchatel.

    Too late for United but things continue to smell in Switzerland. Remind me again, where does FIFA come from <confused>

    Couldn't even pronounce that mate, maybe the commentators planted some dodgy tax returns so they won't have to say the name.

    Sounds like a tablet you take for Pele type problems.

    Indeed.

    And that is also the closest that the team will ever come to a Pele comparison...
